2002 Protection Pack "Black" U2002DXB

The New Balance 2002R "Protection Pack" Black delivers a clinical, high-status execution of Yue Wu’s deconstructed masterpiece, masterfully blending premium performance heritage with a raw, avant-garde technicality. This iteration features a breathable mesh base in deep obsidian, reinforced by a complex landscape of jagged, "rough-cut" suede overlays that provide a fluid, eroded strike to the profile. The design is defined by its radical, sculptural profile, utilizing a specialized monochromatic midsole that integrates signature N-ergy® and ABZORB® technology for elite shock absorption. Grounded by a rugged Stability Web outsole and finished with a metallic silver-bordered "N" logo, this release successfully pairs the 2000s runner DNA with a gritty, "worn-in" luxury aesthetic that has defined the modern sneaker zeitgeist.
